| Banned AKA: Jake Member Since: Jul 2008 Location: NSW, Australia National Team: Australia Domestic Team: NSW | No, IMO. You pick your best 4 bowlers, if they are quicks, then so be it. Although I do like Sifters idea. As long as the team performs I'm pretty happy. | ||

| ICC Chairman AKA: Dean Member Since: Jul 2005 Location: Melbourne, Australia National Team: Australia Domestic Team: Victoria | Like I said, he's not a bad bowler, and he gets the job done. It will depend on the pitch I think as to whether he gets the nod or not. | ||

| Staff Member AKA: Rob Member Since: Mar 2005 Location: Redditch, England National Team: England Domestic Team: Worcestershire Royals | He's a better bowler than we all thought here in England. He's out-bowled both England spinners in this test and fair play to him after being ridiculed by everyone here. | ||

| vBookie Team AKA: Mark/Harmy Member Since: May 2009 Location: Evil Empire National Team: England Domestic Team: USACA | ^ spot on, I would be surprised if he is dropped for Lords. Since Lee is not fit, I do not see Aus making any changes tbh. Siddle bowled well but was over used. Hilfy was the most threatening and we all know what Mitch is capable of. I dont see Oz tinkering with this combination that would surely have won if they had 5-10 more overs left. | ||

| National Board President SOTM - Feb 2010 AKA: Brendon Member Since: Apr 2009 Location: NSW Australia National Team: Australia Domestic Team: NSW, Nottinghamshire, Middlesex, Man Utd, WCE | i dont think there should be any changes to the second test for australia. in the third, they'll put Lee back in the side most probably and take probably Hauritz out. | ||

That could be more down to the West Indies not having any passion though tbh. The pitch did do abit though. | ||

| Administrator PC Awards 2009: Best Post Contributor AKA: Sylvester Member Since: Dec 2003 Location: Auckland National Team: Australia Domestic Team: NSW Blues | Was good to see him get turn, will be handy for our next trip to India if we don't have a spinner. He'll probably get a go at Lords which will be his big test. | ||

| vBookie Team AKA: Mark/Harmy Member Since: May 2009 Location: Evil Empire National Team: England Domestic Team: USACA | Assuming Lee is fit for the 3rd test and Oz wins at Lord's it will be difficult to justify his inclusion. You guys nearly won by an innings in the first and if you win at Lords why change the team. I know I am getting a bit ahead of my self but I definitely do not see Aus changing their line up for Lords. | ||

| Administrator PC Awards 2009: Best Post Contributor AKA: Sylvester Member Since: Dec 2003 Location: Auckland National Team: Australia Domestic Team: NSW Blues | All will depend on how Hauritz goes in the 2nd Test and what the 3rd Test pitch is like. Lee's tour match form is hard to ignore but probably will be a risk picking him not knowing how he will hold up or perform. | ||
